Please change the subject line on this thread as it keeps going in spam
folder and that messes up Stormy.

East of the Mississippi we don't see wing nuts at the a/b shows.
We might see a few early in the year at the specialties and/or Futurities
but they have a way of disappearing.
Secondary sex characteristics are phenomenal. I know you didn't get to
the national and yes, I realize that's a specialty, but you would have
been
terribly pleased. The 6-9 puppy dog and Bred By Exhibitor dogs class
have
to be the best I've seen. The Winners and Specials in both sexes were
really something to behold.
For someone who neither breeds nor competes to paint with such a broad
brush to say that (quoting) "healthy and stable temperament today is not
seen
very often nor do I
believe
it will return anytime soon." is IMO "crap" and I am sticking to it.

I believe a few people in the breed are beginning to wake up and
see there are serious issues, overall in the conformation ring dogs. I
believe it is
dawning on people that , by and large we are too tightly bred, for too
long. I have spoken with
people who have also been in the breed for many many decades, who are at
the point, where
we arrived several years ago of "enough is enough" regarding temperament,
real working athleticism,
and secondary sex characteristics. I don't know what it is like east of
the Mississippi,
but I know what I see , in large part in the area west. I see a lot of
bitchy males, and even
females that are too snippy. I see a lot of dogs who are a mess in the
rear. I see dogs that are well trained,
but truly don't have solid GSD temperament. I know there will be some
that disagree. That is their choice.
Disagreeing with a fact, doesn't change that fact.
The bright side is, there are many breeders (some of the biggest ) are now
really looking HARD at these issues. I applaud that, standing ovation.
I can go to a dog show and see varying degrees of good to abysmal. If
people want to
live with the wing nuts, or the males that look like bitches, that is
their personal choice.
Interestingly the public will seldom seek out those dogs. It is very
telling when we
really LISTEN to what the public thinks, or watch to what dogs they
gravitate at the shows.
Very telling indeed. Maybe we should be listening more often, instead
of just breeding dogs
that are only appreciated by other specialists?
Also I would really like to see it MANDATORY for all TCs to be filmed.
Why
this practice was
stopped is beyond me. But the TC system is as it stands , not a valid
test and denigrates the whole
idea when dogs are being passed that should not be, on a given day. Nice
idea, the TC, but
meaningless at this point.
